From Wikipedia:
Golden Hawks
The Golden Hawks were a Canadian aerobatic flying team that was established in 1959 to celebrate the RCAF's 35th anniversary and the "Golden" 50th anniversary of Canadian flight, which began with the AEA Silver Dart in 1909. Initially, a six-plane team flying brilliantly-painted metallic-gold Canadair Sabre Mk 5s, was envisioned as performing for only one year, but the Golden Hawks were so popular after their single 63-show season that the team was expanded. In the following year, another plane was added to the team, allowing for a five-plane main formation with two solo jets. The Golden Hawks continued performing for three more seasons, changing to the Mk 6 in 1961, until they were disbanded on 7 February 1964, having flown a total of 317 shows across North America.[3]
370 built, F-86F-type with Orenda engine, all to RCAF, 75 later passed to Luftwaffe.
Sabre Mk 6
655 built, 390 to RCAF, 225 to Luftwaffe, six to Colombia and 34 to South Africa.

I promise the better photos are yet to come outside of the hangar 
Next one was hard to take pictures because it was placed next to a tree and a pillar 
Its another french recce (Mirage?); the yellow is a LET Z 37 A Čmelák (engl:Bumblebee) was a Czech multi purpose plane used as a crop duster and fire fighter.

Extremely nice video Santi 
Next one was a Mirage III E with special white painting and recce equipment in the nose for day and night photo missions. For long distance recce it had a self-contained aid navigation system on board.
The second is a Beech Model 50 Twin Bonanza.

Now something for the WWI freaks. One of the two Fokker Dr.I replicas they have has the color scheme of Dr.I 204/17 of Vfw Paul Bäumer of Jasta 2 "Boelcke" April 1918. The plane is also on the title page of the Osprey book about Jasta Boelcke that was a strange coincidence that i had that book with me
